Synopsis

Bob has never trusted humans—except for his beloved Ivan, a gorilla he considers a brother, and Ruby, a young elephant Ivan asked him to look after. But Bob's difficult past comes back to haunt him.

Full of Bob's endearing, humorous voice, this compelling companion to The One and Only Ivan is perfect for the classroom and readers who like their happy endings with a bit of tenderness and a touch of humor.
